SUMMARY

INSTRUCTIONS
Here's a recipe for mini crumb cakes in those cheese cake pans. I adapted the Foster Crumb Cake recipe. If you live in an area where you can get Drakes Coffee Cakes, these are a cute copy cat. Not quite the same texture on the cake, though. I am working on that, LOL!!!!! But here is a recipe to add to your files if you like crumb cake, and have the mini pan.

Crumb Coffee Cakes (makes 24)

Topping
6.75 ounces (1 1/2 cups) AP flour
4 1/2 ounces (about 2/3 cup) light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
11 tablespoons butter, melted or 9 tablespoons butter plus 2 tablespoons Crisco

At least 20 minutes prior to baking, mix together the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Add the melted butter and cut it into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Let sit to allow flour to absorb melted butter.

Cake Batter
5 3/4 ounces (1 1/4 cups) AP flour
3 ounces (scant 1/2 cup) sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 ounce dry millk *
1 large egg plus enough water to equal 6 ounces *
1 1/4 ounces (3 tablespoons) canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
Confectioners' Sugar, for dusting

OR Omit the dry milk powder and use 4 1/4 ounces milk (1/2 cup)

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour pans. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and dry milk in a large bowl. Combine the egg, water (or millk, if using instead), oil and vanilla in a 1 cup Pyrex measure, and whisk until well blended. Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture, and stir just until the dry ingredients are moist and blended, do not over mix. Batter will be thick. Divide and spread the cake batter evenly in the bottom of the cups, the batter will barely cover the bottoms of the cups. Divide and sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the top of the batter; the crumbs completely cover the batter. Bake 10 minutes. Remove from the oven. Remove to racks to fully cool. Liberally dust with confectioners' sugar when completely cool.
